You can put this solution on YOUR website! Part I 8.00% per annum ------------- Amount invested =x
Part II 5.00% per annum ------------ Amount invested = y
6200
Interest----- 460.00
Part I 8.00% per annum ---x
Part II 5.00% per annum ---y
Total investment
x + 1 y= 6200 -------------1
Interest on both investments
8.00% x + 5.00% y= 460
Multiply by 100
8 x + 5 y= 46000.00 --------2
Multiply (1) by -8
we get
-8 x -8 y= -49600.00
Add this to (2)
0 x -3 y= -3600
divide by -3
y = 1200 - x)
Part I 8.00% $ 5000
Part II 5.00% $ 1200
